Tuesday Hannah had her annual allergy appointment, although we were several months late. This girl is such a trooper when it comes to the doctor. She is never shy, scared or hesitate of anything the nurses or doctor ask her to do. She struts herself right in, and she weighed in at 29 pounds! There was a small table and chairs in the room they put us in and as soon as the doctor walks in she goes, "where are the crayons?" I mean.....if there is kid size table and chairs, you must be able to color at it!! So, the doctor found her some crayons and Valentine pictures to color. She sat right at the little table while the doctor did all of her checkup things. They tested Hannah on peanut, egg, seafood, tree nuts, etc. They could not test the honey since it was so rare. The main thing was to see if egg and peanut had gone down. Again, Hannah did not care one bit about the testing. She said she remembered doing it before. The nurses were all prepared to hold her down and they were shocked when they didn't have to do a thing. Hannah ate her sucker and just sat there in my lap.
Thankfully and surprisingly, the peanut went from 11 to 5!!! They also said it is rare for peanut to go down so much. The egg did not budge, but I was very happy with the peanut results. Doctor said they are still both epi pen worthy but if she happens to get down to a three by next year they will start some food testing with her in the office. I was very pleased with everything. Hannah had been so good, I hated leaving her to go to work. She was just so cute and fun to be with that morning. The doctor did give me her emergency action plan to turn into preschool - which I cannot believe I have to register her for THIS week!!! We love you Hannah and we just can't believe how big you are getting!
These were really nothing compared to what they were last year
She looks so worried about things doesn't she?
